ridgers22 · Post by **ridgers22** » Tue Dec 17, 2013 2:00 pm

Finally i have this kit finished..

Always wanted to build one of these and now its done i never want to do it again

Its not the kit or the plane itself. Must say it is an impressive bird when done. but the sheer size of the thing..

So here she is all finished

enjoy

It does look awesome though, I'd love to see it against my entry would probably fit inside one of the wheel wells.

where are you going to keep it?

i can't get over the size of this, i did wonder myself where you intend to display the plane, and i have to say a very wonderful build and photographs.

Massive!!!
Well done too, imagine doing that camo for real and by hand. It must have take a couple of days walking all over her back spraying paint everywhere. Just trying to keep the pattern would be hard.

Impressive!! Great build, it must've broke the bank buying enough paint to cover that thing!!
It'll look great hanging from the ceiling, post a pic when it's up.
